The witch hunt is now heating up in a big partisan way, and only time will tell how this is going to play out…
It looks like the U.S. house probe of the assaults on Capitol Hill is planning on sharing with federal prosecutors any type of evidence of the potential crimes that were aimed at pushing phony GOP electors in states that were won by Democrat President Joe Biden, according to the committee chairman.
Reading between the lines, it means that this committee is looking for something, anything, where they can keep the witch hunt going in a tremendous partisan way against Trump and his supporters.
The House of Representatives Select Committee on January 6th continues to try to look for evidence for any GOP officials in some states where it appears that they sought to nominate their own slate of electors, as opposed to those chosen by voters in 2020. This is the story that panel chairman Representative Bernie Thompson is going with, anyhow.
This committee also continues to insist that Republicans had publicly pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject the official slate of electors and allow GOP state lawmakers to send an alternate group of electors that backed then-President Donald Trump, but Pence rejected that plan.
“If we … determine specifically individuals who did this, we will make the referral to the Justice Department,” Thompson said in an interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation. “We are concerned that documents have been filed saying they were individuals responsible for conducting and certifying elections and they’re not. And when you falsify documents, in most instances, that’s a criminal act.”
Thompson was also asked if he knew who had orchestrated the effort to keep Pence from certifying President Trump’s loss, and he noted that the committee had received related information from documents that had been handed over by the National Archives and they were still being reviewed.
There were nearly a few thousand Trump supporters who were protesting at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 after Trump continued his claim to a nearby rally that he believed he had been the victim of widespread in his defeat to Joe Biden a few months prior.
In the same vein, CNN also reportedly claimed that lawyer Rudy Giuliani was leading efforts to put forward illegitimate electors from the seven states that President Trump lost.
That is one of the main reasons why the January 6th panel subpoenaed Guiliani and two of the other lawyers representing President Trump.
Thompson also described the panel’s concern with a draft of a Trump executive order that allegedly insisted on seizing voting machines with the help of the U.S. military. Granted, the order was never issued, but the panel still desired to investigate it.
“Just the draft itself is reason enough to believe it was being proposed,” Thompson told CBS. “If you are using the military to potentially seize voting machines, even though it’s a discussion the public needs to know. We’ve never had that before.”
The next step in this partisan witch hunt would be to determine whether to recommend charges, and even though they have zealots going after the former administration in a big partisan way, to date no recommendations have been made.
